About the course

A three-year (180 ECTS) law degree taught entirely in English that prepares students for law in a global setting, combining law with economics, management and technological innovation. In Year 3 students choose a track: Global Law, Business and Tech; Global Law and International Organisations; or Italian Law.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Italy accepts a foreign school-leaving qualification that follows 12 years of schooling and gives university access at home, which the Leaving Certificate normally does. LUISS asks only for a valid upper secondary diploma that gives access to Italian universities and publishes no specific Leaving Cert subject, Higher Level or H-grade rule, so confirm with LUISS admissions how your Leaving Cert is assessed; a CIMEA statement of comparability may be requested.
  • Admission is by the online LUISS Test (sat in English for this programme): SAT-style questions on logical reasoning, problem-solving and maths. Alternatively, direct admission is possible with SAT 1200/1600, ACT 25/36, IB 36/45 or LSAT 160/180.
  • English: the published 2027/28 pages do not state an English certificate requirement. Check the call for applications (October 2026) to confirm whether Leaving Cert English is accepted.
